“	Pervasive flying insects that attack invaders with paralyzing venom and lay eggs in carrion along with a fluid that hastens decomposition. It is best to kill them with poison so that their parts are left ripe for the carving.	„

Bnahabra are Neopterons introduced in Monster Hunter 3.

Physiology

Bnahabra are similar to the Vespoid from previous generations. Bnahabra fly in a similar fashion and can also cause paralysis with their stingers. There are various subspecies of the Bnahabra which vary between the regions, each with distinctly colored wings. Bnahabra are often seen attached to the sides of the walls seemingly lifeless, until a hunter is close enough - then they fly away or attack.

Abilities

Unlike the Vespoid, Bnahabra can shoot a corrosive liquid which will reduce a hunter's elemental resistance to Fire, Water, Ice, or Thunder depending on the region.

• Bnahabra are attracted to torches.
• Like other Neopterons, Bnahabra will usually break apart if killed, but if they die from poison they will leave a carve-able body. However, it is possible to kill them with a weapon and leave a carve-able corpse but this is very rare.
• Bnahabra can be stunned, but this happens rarely. 
• Bnahabra will commonly cause damage to large monsters. It is hard to notice their small bodies on a large monster, but they commonly attack large monsters in the area. It is unknown if they can paralyze a monster.
